owner Edwin Epps and must find the strength within to survive. Filled with powerful performances by an astonishing cast including
Chiwetel Ejiofor, Michael Fassbender, Benedict Cumberbatch, Brad Pitt, and newcomer Lupita Nyong'o, 12 Years a Slave is both
an unflinching account of slavery in American history and a celebration of the indomitable power of hope

Pierre is a ballroom-dance instructor with courtly manners whose pupils tend to be well-heeled teenagers. Partly as a dare
and partly as a joke, he is offered the job of supervising a South Bronx high school detention class, where the students regard
him as a visitor from the moon. They resist him, but he fascinates them, and before long, Pierre has talked them into learning
a few steps. He even suggests that if they work hard enough, they might have a shot in a citywide dance competition, which
offers a first prize of $5,000. As they morph into Astaire's and Charisse's, and as Pierre's lessons instill self-mastery,
self-restraint, and self-respect, these previously aimless kids blossom into confident, self-possessed young adults
